A black stone Nandi murti is the main subject, adorned with yellow chrysanthemum garlands, a white flower garland around its neck, a strand of pearls, and small brass bells hanging from the neck. Pink and white flowers and a decorated metal headpiece with jewelled ornament sit on its head, and a white cloth with a dark maroon and gold-bordered drape covers its back. In the blurred background, two seated people in striped and plain clothing sit at a distance, and a figure in green and red sits at the left edge. The scene suggests a Shiva temple setting with ritual decoration.
